I can see in places where summer, weather-wise, can start in late April/early May, and school ending around Memorial day makes sense.

I'm 99% sure this is correct - 180 days. As for the cause of schools starting at different times, I have no idea. My guess would be just different demographic? Tradition? I dunno.
